Dancing With the Stars Week 3 Results: The Jay Cutler Effect

If everyone has recovered from last night's emotional looks back at memorable years, there will be a results show tonight and another dancer will be eliminated.

I'm sure it won't be J.R. Martinez as he and Karina captured everyone's attentions, not only with his dancing, but with his moving story.  I don't think it will be Chynna Phillips and Derek Hough as they executed another great routine.

Mary J. Blige got the show off to a fast start tonight.  Also some great Latin dancing to go along with it.

Some results right away tonight.  Up for eliminations are Chaz and Lacey, Ricki and Derek, and J.R. and Karina.  The first couple safe tonight is J.R.and Karina.  Also safe is Ricki and Derek.  Chaz and Lacey are safe as well, in a surprise.  What a surprise.

The encore dance tonight was Chynna and Tony.  Once again a nice job, this couple may be the favorite at this stage of the competition.  

More eliminations coming fast and furious.  This one includes Nancy and Tristan, Hope and Maks and Carson and Anna along with Rob and Cheryl.  Will Carson make it through after he showed big improvement?

The next couple safe is Rob and Cheryl.  Carson and Anna are in jeopardy.  Nancy and Tristan are safe as well.  Hope and Maks are in jeopardy. 

Next week, the cast will be dancing to movie themes, so the troupe along with Peta and Val danced to a song from Gone With the Wind.

Next a rendition of Chubby Checker's Twist.  A special appearance by Chubby Checker himself.  He still can move.  Len even got out on the floor to do a little twist. 

After more Mary J.Blige we see Chynna and Tony, David and Kym, and Kristin and Mark.  Coming back next wee is Chynna and Tony.  David and Kym are also coming back.  Kristin and Mark are in jeopardy.  

One couple now will brought to safe ground.  That would be Carson and Anna.  So a bit of a surprise this evening.  Leaving the show this week is the team of Kristin and Mark.  Hope and Maks will dance again.
Movie themes next week. 

I have to believe Jay Cutler showing up didn't help Kristin Cavallari.

Dancing With the Stars Week 3: Blondes, Sweat, and Tears

Another live performance show and this week the couples get personal.  We learn a little more about our stars as they dance to a song from a memorable year in their life.

It should be emotional, it should be uplifting.  Tonight Liiiiiiiiiiivvvvveeeeeeeee!

First up tonight, Rob Kardashian and Cheryl.  Rob picked  a song from 2003, the year his father died.  He's dancing the foxtrot and is honoring his dad.  A nice foxtrot and his did his dad proud.  He's improving each and every week.  The judges agreed and he gets a 24.

Can Chynna Phillips keep impressing?  We find out now as Chynna and Tony take the stage.  She looks back at 1990 and the songs she wrote.  She dances to her own song, "Hold On."  Tony and Chynna were really into it.  A very passionate rumba.  The judges and audience loved it and of course, the personal connection to the music.  She gets a 26.

Chaz and Lacey are up next.  He was at the bottom of the standings last week, he looks to rebound.  They get a rumba so Chaz might've caught a break.  Chaz will dance to a Sonny Bono hit, "Laugh at Me."  Chaz didn't look good and the dance wasn't that great either.  The judges appreciated Chaz's courage but were fairly nice to him.  He gets a 18.

Kristin Cavallari and Mark Ballas next.  The judges were hard on Kristin last week.   She picks 2005 as her most memorable year.  They get a samba this week and dance to a Beyonce song.  It appeared she was a little off the entire dance.  Maybe it was because Jay Cutler was in the audience.  She gets a 24 and Jay Cutler avoids another sack, for now. 

Carson and Anna are next on the stage.  Carson isn't a great dancer, but he's having fun.  They get a tango and will dance to a No Doubt song.  Carson may not be a greta dancer, but he has the head snaps and leg kicks down.  Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann loves him, and Len said he put the boy in flamboyant.  He gets a 23.

No story is more personal that J.R. Martinez's.  He's an inspiration to every American.  He was injured in Iraq and faced a long recovery.  He dances to a Tim McGraw song and he dedicates it to the men and women who didn't make it home from war.  He does a great job again.  He received multiple standing ovations and a 26 out of 30.

Nancy Grace is on next.  2007 was her memorable year.  She dances to "Moon River."  Tristan does a good job with Nancy, but something look awkward.  The judges were fairly kind.  She gets a 21.

Up next are Ricki Lake and Derek Hough.  Ricki's memorable year was last year.  She got divorced and her house burned down, but she met Christian.  An emotional and beautiful dance.  The judges like her because she is a performer.  A great dance.  Ricki gets a 27.

Hope Solo and Maks take the floor.  Her memorable year is this year.  The U.S. Women's Soccer team made the finals of the World Cup.  They dance a cha cha.  A very sexy dance and Hope is in a skimpy dress.  High energy and good comments from the judges.  She gets a 24.

Last tonight is David Arquette and Kym Johnson.  David was in the bottom two last week, so  he needs to improve his technique.  They dance a rumba this week.  A much better effort from David.  David and Kym get a 24.

J.R. Martinez a Sleeper Pick on Dancing With the Stars

Season 13 of ABC's Dancing With the Stars will kickoff on Monday night and the usual collection of actors, athletes, reality show stars and relatives of famous people will try and win the coveted mirror ball trophy.

One contestant the public as a whole may not be all that familair with is actor J.R. Martinez.  Word is his dancing skills are pretty good and he's a likeable guy, so he's a darkhorse pick for sure.

J.R. Martinez told People Magazine: “I’ve learned so much, Karina (Smirnoff) is an amazing talent. She has shown me that it’s all posture, and framing and being elegant. It’s all about fingers and toes. Being a guy, I tend to move all over the place.”  Karina says Martinez is a hard worker on the dance floor.

Other info about Martinez... he's 28, an Iraq war vet who sustained burns to more than 40% of his body, including his face, after hitting a land mine while deployed with the Army in Iraq in 2003. He has undergone 33 cosmetic and skin graft surgeries.

He know appears regularly on ABC's All My Children.

Dancing With the Stars Season 13 Cast Revealed and Odds to Win

Each season, the folks over at Dancing With the Stars reinvent the show a little. It's just about showtime when a new cast is revealed and that is exactly what happened tonight.

The problem was we will have to watch that train wreck of a show Bachelor Pad to learn who will be doing the waltz, samba and other dance disciplines this fall. Wait, you don't have to watch Bachelor Pad, here they are:

A new stage set up and a new set awaits the pros and stars when the season kicks off in September.

Here are your contestants and my early odds of winning the mirror ball trophy:

Nancy Grace - This HLN talker has apparently recovered from the verdict of the Casey Anthony trial and will put her dancing shoes on. Early indications are she will be stiff and dull while dancing, but she is popular with certain segments of the DWTS voting population. Odd are 10-1

Kristin Cavalleri - She's made her living in television reality shows and in bad movies. She's coming off a broken engagement to football star Jay Cutler and she's back trying to make a name for herself. Not sure if she can dance. Odds are 9-1

David Arquette - This actor is currently separated from Courtney Cox, but can be charming when he wants to be. I bet he tries hard and lasts a while. 8-1 odds

Riki Lake - I'm sure she's a fan of the show and will work hard. She'll have big fan support. 5-1 odds

Chynna Phillips - The singer from Wilson Phillips and daughter of John and Michelle Phillips might be ok. She'll look good on the dance floor. 4-1 odds.

Rob Kardashian - What a shock, there is a Karkashian on the show again. Sooner or later every Kardashian will be on DWTS, but the only one we all want to see is Bruce Jenner. he might be good at 5-1.

Chaz Bono - I don't know what to say about this selection other than it will be awful. A longshot at 20-1.

Hope Solo - Hands down, Solo should be the favorite for the title. She's athletic, she's popular, and she looks good. I think she can dance and dance well. 3-1 odds.

Carson Kressley - Television host from Queer Eye.  I don't know what to expect from this guy, but you can bet he'll be dancing to "It's Raining Men." 12-1 odds.

J.R Martinez - An actor who had over 40% of his body burned while serving in Iraq. He also is a motivational speaker and is an actor on "All My Children." Odds to win 9-1

Elizabetta Canalis - She's Italian, she's an actress and television host, and the former girlfriend of George Clooney. Not much else is known about her dancing ability. Will the American public take to her? 7-1 odds

Elizabetta Canalis

Ron Artest - This bad boy basketball player should be interesting to watch. If he can follow directions and learn his routines, I bet he does pretty well. 8-1 odds
